docs(kernel): the operator asks the goal first and offers three teams - #862
Conversation
The operator asks "What would you like to build or change?" once, presents starter, workshop and factory with one recommendation drawn from each real spec, fits the team to the person's providers (an adapted copy of a built-in spec under the same name, or a workshop configuration), launches on a yes in the person's folder, shows the team in the shared TUI and a new herdr space, and hands the original goal to the team's lead as a queue row.

Require the name-table rename before this guidance merges.
The base branch has first-project and factory-rsi, not built-in specs named starter or factory. The preview and launch commands resolve library names exactly. On a fresh install, if this guidance lands first, those commands can fail and the documented lead addresses have no corresponding seats. Otherwise, use names and addresses that resolve on the target branch.

Copying only the culture file left out the other files a spec names relative to its folder (docs, startup files at rig, pod and member level, services and policy files), such as a lead's first-move guidance. The operator now copies the shipped spec's folder, rewrites only references that climb out of it to absolute paths, and checks the copy's relative paths before planning it.
…real attach commands The workshop's plan and launch pass --target ~/rigs/workshop, so the bundle never lands in the operator's own working directory. The operator types into the shared TUI only when the capture shows the TUI's view (at a shell prompt it runs rig tui first or tells the person the command). The new space opens with herdr or cmux, and attach commands come from rig ps --fields canonicalSessionName,tmuxAttachCommand, which the compact JSON lacks.

Create the queue body file before running this command.
The resolver in packages/cli/src/commands/queue.ts rejects a missing or empty --body-file and does not contact the daemon. This step does not say to write the goal and folder to a file. Add that instruction before telling the operator to queue the handoff.

Approved at 6e05c82 after two review rounds. The kernel operator now asks the person's goal once, asks which folder the team works in, and presents starter, workshop and factory with one recommendation tied to the goal, drawing each team from its real spec; the shelf teams appear only when the goal asks for them. When a built-in team needs a provider the person doesn't have, the operator copies the shipped spec's whole folder outside the spec library, keeps the team's name, switches runtimes, rewrites only references that leave the folder, and checks every relative path before planning. The workshop installs once as workshop in ~/rigs/workshop. The operator plans first and launches only on a yes, reports readiness from each seat's startupStatus, shows the team in the shared TUI only when the capture shows the TUI's view and in a new herdr space, takes attach commands from the JSON fields that carry them, and hands the person's goal to the team's lead as a queue row. The TUI seat's session name comes from rig ps instead of a written address.

What a user gets
The operator asks once what the person wants to build or change. It then shows the three teams (starter, workshop and factory) with one recommendation and a drawing of each, and fits the chosen team to the providers the machine has. It launches on a yes, shows the new team, and passes the person's goal to the team's lead, so nobody asks it twice.
What changes (operator guidance, two files)
